Tech Tip

That Seems Sketchy: Holiday Edition
Keep your team safe during peak shopping season with a simple reminder: slow down, read carefully and double-check before tapping links.
  • Don't trust URL previews in texts.
    Shortened links hide malicious destinations. If you can’t see where it goes, don’t open it.
  • Be suspicious of texts that mirror your real apps.
    Scammers mimic Apple, UPS, Amazon, USPS and DoorDash notifications. Check inside the app instead of tapping the message.
  • Watch for double alerts
    If you get a text and an email for the same “issue,” it’s often automated phishing. Real retailers usually notify in one channel.
